We're proud to be able to deliver memorable experiences and thankful for their feedback, suggestions, and support.

An historic journey back in time

"With so many artifacts, both personal as well as technical, and so thoughtfully and strategically displayed throughout the three levels, we were captivated by the interesting back stories that our guides provided. Highly recommend."

Worth it!

They had many original artifacts and pieces that really made the history come alive! Worth the money!

A great side trip. Take the tour!

So many interesting things about Thomas Edison and his family! And the inventions, and how they lived back then. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun.

Amazing

The house sure didn’t look like much from the outsize, but boy were we surprised! So many amazing original pieces dating back into the 1800’s, and the tour is a must!

Glad we went here!

Highly recommended. Learned not only about Thomas Edison but the whole Edison family and his close famous friends. The tour guide seemed to know everything about the home and the people.

Very well done!

We are debating what we loved the most, either the building and museum or our tour guide. This location is so well maintained and well worth the time to visit. Our tour guide "Maylee", really knew her stuff and we were so thrilled to find out she is a high school student.

Who knew?

We have been fascinated by Thomas Edison's life since visiting Greenfield Village. But in 2 hours at the Edison birthplace we learned much more than multiple visits at Greenfield Village ever taught us! Take the time to visit this place.

AMAZING!

I highly recommend this wonderful tour!! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable which made it so great.
